Celebrities Who Embrace Their Flaws!

  Hello everyone! I hope you guys had a great mother's day! I got my mama a candle because I am a college student with no job! But she said she likes it and it was kind of  expensive for a candle, so I'm glad she does. Anywho,  I am making this post about celebrities and their physical flaws and how they embrace it, because a lot of people look up to celebrities and think ohmigod they are just soo perfect. However no one is! I don't understand how being famous makes you perfect, but okay here's a list of celebrities that embrace their flaws.


1. Anne Hathaway--Prominent Features



      I've liked Anne Hathaway since the Princess Diaries. I just think she is gorgeous and she has prominent features like big eyes, ears,  and teeth but she still looks stunning whenever I see her on the red carpet. It actually makes her unique and shows that you dont have to have quaint little features to be beautiful! Yeah you go Hathaway with your shiny Oscar!


2.  Grace Jones--Androgyny



I love Grace Jones from her razor-sharp cheekbones to her high top fade! Even though the Jamaican singer, actress and model is androgynous, it's what made her the fashion icon she is today. Like Hathaway she shows that having strong features can be a beautiful thing.Plus, it's her fashion and flair that has influenced big pop stars like Madonna and Rihanna!


3. Padma Lakshmi--Scar
\

Padma Lakshmi is a model and has written award-winning cookbooks like Easy Exotic, and also hosts Top Chef on Bravo. Another seemingly confident celeb whose physical flaw seems to be her scar located on her right arm. As someone with many scars myself, I admire Padma for not hiding her scar, but wearing outfits that reveal the scar she got from a car accident like the one above.

4. Rebel Wilson--Plus size



  Rebel is pretty and funny what more could you ask for? Even though the world is obsessed with being the perfect size, she's fine with who she is. She brings in the confidence that has leads her to star in blockbuster movies (do people still say blockbuster?), hosting the MTV movie awards, and  now her own show on ABC called Super Fun Night !

5. Tyra Banks--Big Forehead



Tyra! Tyra! As stated in a  previous entry, I loved the Tyra Show, some may have found it annoying I guess but I really wish the show did not go off the air! Anyway, if anyone knows this supermodel/actress/children's book author/ Emmy-award winning talk show host/ ANTM host is that she embraces her big ol' five head. That's right you wont see her wearing bangs much, nevertheless she is still beautiful! Honorable mention in this category goes to Rihanna.

This is the list I've compiled so far, but stay tuned because I might add more to it!

Gaining weight!

 

My body now! Pic kinda blurry, sorry!

   Okay, so I have complained about being too skinny before in previous posts. So, I figure I should adhere to Maya Angelou's quote, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude". Well, I'm going to try my best to gain weight. Now, this won't be the first time I've tried to gain weight, it will be the hundredth time. I have been trying to gain weight since I've heard the words, you're so skinny! So since I was eight I have been stuffing my face with  junk food so I can gain weight, and guess what? It did --in my stomach! Therefore, I looked pregnant according to my little sister.

   Now,  if anyone that's reading this  is trying to lose weight don't roll your eyes, if you haven't already! Being skinny is no fun, people would literally laugh at me like I'm a clown during a circus performance. Shopping is often a disaster, especially finding jeans to fit me perfectly. I remember when I was in middle school and I went  back-to-school shopping with my mom. My mother asked the worker at a store in the mall if they carried my size. The woman looked me up and down shaking her head profusely and said, "Oh, no!" and turned around. I wanted to leave the store immediately as I was humiliated.
 
   Before I would try to gain weight by eating more, doing exercises that help gain muscle, but I often would quit  if I didn't see results or I was tired of it. Now, I am committed to my exercise regime and diet for this entire summer. I exercise on alternate days and eat more calories than I do now by drinking weight gain drinks, like Boost or Ensure. I am not going to give up, because I believe that there is a possibility of changing my weight so I'm no longer known as that skinny girl.

  I also go on youtube for some advice, and i subscribed to Bootynomics. She  used to be a skinny girl and now is overall just a voluptuous beauty. Here's a few videos:

   I'll probably never look this girl, I mean anything can happen, but the point is to challenge myself. Going on this journey I am exercising and eating healthy, which is great for my health,  regardless of the physical attributes I feign for. What I really want to gain is confidence and like Ruby Dee once said, "The kind of beauty I want most is the hard to get kind that comes from within--strength, courage and dignity".

Loner's Club!

     Aaah! The weekend is almost over and I just had so much fun dancing at the clubs, getting high on powdery substances I'm too afraid to ask about,  and hooking up with cute strangers YAAASSS! The life of a woman in her twenties living it up!! Yeah, and who saw through that pile of bullcrap ('scuse my language). Anyway, my weekend consisted of reading Mama Day by Gloria Naylor ( a great read by the way!), watching Scandal on Netflix, taking a walk in a "safe" neighborhood, bothering my little sister, and enjoying not having any homework to do.

    I know I am not living the fast life, and some part of me wishes I do. I watch shows like The Jersey Shore and the ratchetness of VH1 (don't judge me!) and sometimes I just wish that I were popping off bottles  at the club, if that is the right term. It's not like I've never been to a club, I remember going downtown to the club life with a couple of friends and it wasn't so much fun if any at all. People are dancing and drunk if you're at the age of drinking (which I'm not) and other people are standing in the corner, kind of like school dances. Otherwise, it wasn't really fun especially when it's so loud you can't hear anyone let alone your own voice.

   I'm a quiet person and while people my age are learning the way through the clubs, I am trying to learn how to crochet a hat. I guess I just don't want to look back at this stage in my life and say to myself, "Man! I should have done something!" However, the matter of fact is that I do accomplish something everyday, heck I wake up everyday ain't that some thing! Maybe because school is over I am wondering what I should do now. Maybe cuddling to books is a needed relaxation and I don't need to worry about what everyone else is doing with themselves. Like what my mom always says, "worry about your own". So that's what  I'll try to do for now, but it's hard when society shoves down your throat  a book of rules that one must comply to.

  But yeah, if anyone wants to join the Loner's Club there's  a $5.00 membership fee, and we meet on the weekends where it consists of us not conforming to what society thinks us youngins should do.
